CarlLaFong Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's a cover that goes on the top of the engine from head to head and front to back. It covers the pushrod and lifter area on V engines. Most early cars had them, but were mostly eliminated later on by intake manifolds that also cover the valley area. Google "engine valley cover" to get an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will C Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Can the car be driven without it without damaging the car? Is it easily replaceable? Where would I go to find one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Since the eight did not have one, he is looking at a 12 or 16. The car should not be run without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
